gustar y encantar
What is the difference between gustar and encantar?
6 Answers
Gustar is more on the lines to like or to please you, and encantar is more on the likes if you love something or love to do something...
Me gusta pizza. I like pizza.
Me encanta el sol. I love the sun. Me encanta esta canción. I love this song.
Technically gustar is to please, so when you say me gusta, it means it pleases me.
The difference between "like" and "love."
Me gusta el chocolate. I'll eat it if it's around. Me encanta el chocolate. Don't touch my chocolate bunny.
The word "gustar" literally means in English "to be pleasing to" "Me gusta la música salsa." literally means "Salsa music pleases me."
Encantar means "to enchant". Therefore "Me encanta la música afro-cubana" literally means "Afro-Cuban music enchants me"
But as other writers have stated they are used to say "I *like_______________" And I love______________________. respectively.
From what I know:
gusta = liking something / someone encanta = liking something / someone more strongly amo = loving something / someone
"encanta" can be used to describe love for someone, but "amo / ama" is a much stronger and a better word
The intensity . if a thing "te gusta" , minds than you like it a lot , but if this thing ( or person ) " te encanta" , minds that you're mad for this .
¡Gracias amigos!
